How oil spill booms work?


Posted March 15, 2022 by hopetopway

One is to use the oil boom long-term layout, generally placed in the water intake and power plants and other places;

 
The oil bar is also known as the oil rope, and its composition is divided into three parts: floating body (float), screen body (skirt body in the middle) and counterweight (heavy weight at the bottom). Each of the three sections provides buoyancy to the boom, ensuring that it floats on the water. The skirt is connected below the float and forms a barrier under the water. Its function is to make the boom have a vertical depth of draft under the water and ensure that it can contain the oil spill of a certain thickness. With weights attached to the underside of the skirt, the boom balances the boom and also provides tension for the skirt to form a barrier. In the actual application of the boom due to the influence of the tide, wind, wave and other factors, so often for different environments need different effects of the boom, so in addition to the above three basic components, the connection, tension belt, core plate is sometimes the auxiliary parts of the boom. Hopetopway ship terminal PVC containment boom is the equipment to prevent and control oil spill pollution in water area. To prevent oil spill pollution, it is necessary to prevent the spread of oil spill. In addition to intercepting the oil spill, the containment belt can also guide the oil spill and make it as concentrated as possible for further recovery and treatment.

Here is the contene list:

● The role of containment boom.

● Applicable scope of solid float type oil boom.

The role of containment boom.

(1) Oil spill diversion.

Oil spill accident happens, in under the action of outside factors, oil spill any drift and diffusion, in order to facilitate recovery operation or to dredge the spilled oil flow to the designated place, especially in the river or nearshore fast-flowing area, in order to effectively control the flow of oil spill easy to recycle or to prevent overflow, oil into the sensitive area, usually used in accordance with the oil boom set point of view, to set out. There are generally two cases of oil spill diversion. One is to use the oil boom long-term layout, generally placed in the water intake and power plants and other places; Another situation is to place containment booms near the reef, which is mainly to temporarily place containment booms according to the specific situation when oil spills occur, so as to realize the diversion of oil spills and divert oil spills to areas that are easy to recover or other non-sensitive resources.

(2) Prevent potential oil spills.

Prevention of potential oil spill usually refers to placing booms in advance to prevent and control oil spill in places where there is a possibility of oil spill or the risk of oil spill according to local water conditions. In this way, oil spill can be prevented from spreading and recovery measures can be taken to recover oil spill in containment in time. When the ship is loading and unloading oil at the wharf or transferring oil at the anchorage, it is usually required to set up the containment boom in advance for control. Sometimes, the stranded, sunken ship has not yet salvaged, but also according to the actual situation of the appropriate containment.

(3)Oil spill containment and concentration.

After the oil spill accident, the oil spill will rapidly spread and drift under the influence of tidal current, wind and other external factors, forming a large polluted area. In open waters, coastal waters or port oil spill occurs, wash oil boom in time, can be spread in the oil spill in time control, through the oil boom towage or surrounding a narrow scope, the oil film can be assembled to the recycling of smaller scope, both to prevent oil spill spread, also can increase the oil film thickness, easy recycling or other processing.

Scope of application of solid float containment boom.

Solid float containment boom is an economical and general containment boom, especially suitable for the interception and control of oil spill and other floating objects in quiet coastal waters. It can be fixed and placed, and has been widely used in inland pollutant discharge inlet, rivers, harbours, lakes and offshore oil drilling platforms.
